“Authentic knowledge of the God of mercy, the God of tender
love,
is a constant and inexhaustible source of conversion...”
John Paul II, Dives in Misericordia, 13
“We realize that God, in showing us mercy,
calls upon us to become witnesses to mercy in today’s world.”
John Paul II, Aug 18, 2002
THEME ARTICLE:
“Do This In Memory of Me”
by Jim Murphy
When
we hear these words, we naturally associate them with Christ’s command
to continue the Eucharistic celebration.
You and I are able to receive the Eucharist today because for
2,000 years, the Church has obeyed that command to continue the
Eucharist “in memory” of Him.
Of course, “in memory” does not mean a fond recollection of
something that is over and done, but rather an ongoing, living reality

Preparing for Lent
by
Tammie Stevens
As I prepare for Lent this year, I am
reflecting on the role of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ baptism and 40
days in the desert.
In Mark 1:8 John the Baptist says: “I have
baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the holy Spirit.”
In the next verse Jesus is baptized by John and the Holy
Spirit descends upon him and then drives him into the desert.
I wonder what the relationship is between Jesus being
baptized by John and Jesus baptizing us in the Holy
Spirit? I wonder what
connection there is between the Holy Spirit descending on
Jesus at his baptism and the Holy Spirit driving him into the
desert?
